Dear Sir/Madam,
Compliments of the day to you. Obviously this message might come as a surprise to you, but please consider it as a high priority issue which will definitely help and assist former deputy president Mr. Jacob Zuma.
I am Dr.Johnson Mokoena, The Chief Auditor for the Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA BANK) for duration of 17 years now, with about 10 months left for an over-due retirement.
There is a Draft Account opened in this bank longtime by Mr. Jacob Zuma before he became a deputy president of the Republic of South Africa. Due to his unexpected removal from office as vice president by President Thabo Mbeki on 14th June 2005 after the conclusion of the parliament on Shaik bribery and corruption against the former deputy president Mr Jacob Zuma.
As an ANC party executive member and with ongoing legal charge trial of him which he might found guilty of the offence. He called me immediately after the official and public announcement of his removal from office of the Republic of South Africa as vice president to assist and help him of his account which i have been handling for him.
I am aware of every details of his bank account till date and when the last deposit was made before his removal from office on 14th June 2005. As a matter of fact, the amount in this account is currently Twenty-Five Million Seven Hundred United States Dollars (US$25,700,000.00) waiting to be approved for immediate payment by the bank to any foreign account holder with accurate
details concerning this account.
In other words No withdrawal or deposit has been made since the beginning of Shaik bribery and corruption against the former vice president Mr Jacob Zuma to date into this account. I don't think I need to spell out the importance of secrecy in this matter considering what it's involved. Let me state clearly here that the account you will be providing does not need to have funds in it, it is
only needed to be active and be able to receive the funds in question.
I am contacting you as foreigner because this money cannot be approved for payment into a local account, but can only be approved for a foreign account because it was insured and there is a clause in the depository agreement by the Bank and Mr. Jacob Zuma which states that on No condition can any local withdrawal be made from this account unless the money is transfer into a
foreign account. In effect withdrawals can be made only when the money has transferred from the vaults of the bank to a foreign bank account.
If you are willing and capable of handling such amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefits, because this is an opportunity for former deputy president Mr Jacob Zuma after his legal charge trial. I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money into your nominated overseas bank account with the appropriate clearance certificate from the Ministries and Foreign Exchange Department.
I will physically be in your country for Sharing as soon as you confirmed the money in your bank account, but agreement will be signed by both parties concerning the sharing modalities to avoid misunderstandings.
Finally, you should reply urgently to the above email by sending your private telephone and fax number for more communication to enable my attorney to certify you as beneficiary of the said money at the Ministry of Justice. So make sure you read carefully and understand the contents of my mail.
Thanks and God Bless.
Best Regards
Dr.Johnson Mokoena
Chief Auditor ABSA BANK
